Projects

Our projects are specific activities which help realise the overall vision of the Broads.

They cover various areas of work including conservation, land and water management, planning, recreation or visitor services.

We often work in partnership with other organisations on different projects to share resources and expertise.
Projects are also often jointly funded with our partners and have grants from other sources as well. They can take place over several months or even years and once completed they need to be maintained and sometimes further developed.

Current projects

Our current projects include bird conservation, climate change, lake restoration and sediment management. You can read more about some of the key projects we are currently involved in by clicking the navigation links on the left of the screen.
